I am in love with those sweet/salty prints for some reason! Maybe because I use those words to describe the moods of my children on a daily basis...they would be so perfect for my kitchen! Love this fun art...what are you going to choose???? My friend paints the most awesome pet portraits from photos if you'd like something unique....a whimsical painting of your fur babies perhaps??

We have a giant metal fork that I love for its simplicity. We used to have a framed photo of a coffee shop that we visited in Annapolis but that was taken down when we painted. I love the "sweet" and "salty" pieces and the retro ones. I see a DIY coming - you could do something really fun. What about a favorite recipe or family recipe done as subway art or something?

I'm an artist and I have a lot of art in my house and kitchen. Before I started painting I collected original art by buying unframed at galleries or buying at art fairs. I still love the paintings I bought years ago. Now I have my own - a large tomato watercolor in the kitchen and a small painting of zinnias leaning against the counter wall covering wires and plugs. It can make the kitchen less sterile and welcoming. Go for original - it has class! Even if you do it yourself or frame children's art. Add some softness to the hardness of a kitchen.

I have a large black and white photo of Frida Kahlo framed in purple and red (on red wallpaper), a black and white photo of my me and my family at Horsetail Falls in Mexico, a small signed street scene print from Germany that came from a now defunct Mexico City museum and another signed print from one of my bestest friends. Plus a chalkboard/blackboard for a little traditional kitchen decor. I LOVE artwork.

I have a piece that I picked up years ago at a flea market which I still love! It is a primitive style painting of a bowl of apples done on wood planks, I think I paid $20 for it! Love the dog painting and the "sweet and salty" posters (which you could totally DIY!)

oh i love the sweet and salty! we don't have any in our kitchen only because it's ugly and we haven't redone it so i put forth NO effort in here to even try to make it look nice. because it never can like this! but my friend ali sends me the cutest cards, and i lean them all up on my window by the sink for a little bit of happy. :)

The signs in your kitchen are fantastic. I love the sweet and salty as well as beat it and whip it. I am planning an outdoor kitchen on our deck this spring and should add a couple of cool signs like these to jazz it up.

Art in the kitchen is as important as any other room!Have a wall, hug wall, that's when I asked MC to build the built-ins. Didn't have the correct "Art" to fill such a large space. I then hung two pictures on the inside frame!We also framed pictures of European mansions from an old calendar and "hung" them on the back splash! Love the look.

We are currently in the process of redoing our kitchen... shhhh my husband doesn't know this yet. ha ha! This time I am using original artwork (either mine or thrift store/art show finds) and doing some fun tile work with all the mis-matched pieces of tile I've been saving for a rainy day. (Seriously $5 for a rubbermaid tote full of odds and ends.... some broken but some in good condition... may as well use it!) And as far as what type of artwork.... yep still shooting for original, it would look great in your kitchen! Have a wonderful day!

I went to Nashville with a bunch of friends and ended up in the Hatch Show Prints shop downtown. They've been making concert posters for years and years and years. I bought a print of a pot of coffee in black, white and red and framed it in a black frame with a red and white gingham border. It hangs above my stove. All told, the project cost me less than $20.
